These slices are always welcome Christmas morning, especially when they're paired with steaming cups of coffee or tea. I've doubled and even quadrupled the recipe many times.

Yield 12 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup raisins
1/2 cup ground almonds
1/4 cup sugar
2 large egg whites
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
DOUGH:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed

1/4 cup sugar
2 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

1 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • For filling, combine the first five ingredients in a bowl; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk, sugar, egg yolks and lemon zest; mix well. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 12 times. Roll into a 12x8-in. rectangle. Spread filling to within 1 in. of edges. Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams to seal and tuck ends under. Place, seam side down, on a greased baking sheet. Brush dough with cream and sprinkle with additional sugar. Bake at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown (top with crack). Remove to a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over warm bread. To serve, cut into 1-in. slices.
